This duo defeated Sauron in combat, so they should be very strong! That stated, there’s not much going on with this deck besides the BROKEN BLADE card and a “leadership” theme I tried to instill. I kind of like the LEADER OF MEN – STRENGTH OF MANY combo but it might be a little too strong.

My take is it reminds me a lot of your Obi and Ani deck; as in it’s a deck that doesn’t do much it just beats you ’cause it’s so tough. Isildur has an A8 plus two A6s that are easy to power up and if you kill his tough minor (who has big attacks too) then you have to contend with an A12 that Isildur can search or recycle. And if you ignore Elendil to target Isildur then you have some solid staying power to get over. Their only real weakness is no direct damage, which they don’t really need.

If Elrond and The Balrog weren’t so tough (and if Sauron wasn’t intentional a bad match-up against them) then this would probably be the strongest deck in the expansion right now.

Thanks James. I’ll go ahead and finish out a draft.
